Wanted Person
"You did it!"
Without basking in the afterglow of defeating the Drake family, Mary approaches Anastasia and talks to her.
"Yeah"
I thought I saw a sad look on her face a few minutes ago, but it seems I was imagining things.
The reason is that Anastasia's face when she looked at Mary was as relaxed as a grandmother looking at her grandchildren's faces.
"I thought you were a typical mage, but it seems you're not!
The swordsmanship you used to cut down Drake and the Nem-Ram sisters could have been mistaken for a first-rate swordsman!"
"Is that so?"
"Yeah! That's right! You're so modest!"
Mary pats Anastasia on the back.
Anastasia looks as if she is in pain after being slapped on the back by the large Mary, but she still smiles and accepts the slap, which shows her to be a person of character.
"Master, dawn is breaking and the onlookers are gathering!"
In a vampire movie, the dawn breaks at the critical moment and the big boss of the enemy dies in the sunlight, but in our battle it was different.
In the first place, vampires with titles can overcome sunlight.
"Yeah, we have to leave now!
Besides, it would be bad if the replica holy sword Excalibur that Shiro made, which was stuck in the central park as camouflage, was pulled out.''
That's right, we stuck a replica in the place where the holy sword Excalibur was stuck so that no one would know that we had pulled it out.
Because if it became known that someone had pulled out the Holy Sword Excalibur, it would be a big deal, and the search for the hero might begin.
Therefore, the real holy sword Excalibur must be replaced with the replica holy sword Excalibur as soon as possible.
In its current state, someone might pull out the fake holy sword Excalibur.
Or rather, anyone could easily pull it out.
"Everyone! We'll evacuate and head to the central park as planned!"
""Roger!""
Everyone put on the cloaks Shiro had given them that had been given presence blocker magic, pulled their hoods over their heads, and left the collapsed Duke Pavlov mansion without anyone finding us.
Apparently it was quite a big deal, and in addition to the onlookers, soldiers from the Kingdom of Harman were also waiting about 100 meters away from Duke Pavlov's residence.
Without a doubt, we would not have been able to break through without Shiro's cloak.
When we arrived at the central park, we found the replica of the holy sword Excalibur stuck in a rock, still untucked by anyone.
"Are you really going to bring it back?"
When we arrived in front of the rock, Mary looked at me with a disappointed look on her face.
"It can't be helped! If we leave the replica stuck in it, someone will pull it out!"
"Then you can just glue it together with adhesive or something!
The holy sword Excalibur is a keepsake of grandmother!"
"Idiot! National treasure-level items, even if they are keepsakes, are donated to national art museums!
You'd want to show it to the public and brag about it!
This is your grandma's keepsake!
It is said that Grandma defeated the Demon King with this holy sword Excalibur!"
"C... Certainly, you may have a point there..."
Mary is convinced with a puzzled look on her face.
"Right? Besides, if we leave it here, you can come and see it anytime, right?
You know the entrance to the Amru dungeon."
"Well, after thinking about it, I feel like it would be a good idea to leave a memento of grandmother here!"
Too easy.
I was saved because Mary was an idiot.
If the holy sword Excalibur were to disappear from the rock, it would be a big problem.
And if it turned out that it had somehow been replaced with a fake one, it would be a doubly big deal.
Besides, it would be terrible if the person who pulled out the fake holy sword Excalibur was hailed as a hero.
Even though they have no talent, if they were forced to fight the Demon King, they would be heartbroken too.
The Demon King is probably stronger than Drake, Mary, and the others, and I think that the aura emitted by the Demon King to the fake hero would be enough to annihilate them...
"Then, it is settled."
After Anastasia said that, she pulled out the replica of the holy sword Excalibur, and thrust the real holy sword Excalibur into the rock instead.
"Aaaahhh… grandmother's memento…"
Mary seemed to like it.
She's trying to somehow pull out the holy sword Excalibur, which has been returned to the rock.
"Why wasn't I a hero!
I am the genuine grandchild of my hero grandmother!"
Anastasia was looking at Mary from behind with a smile on her face as she said things like that like a child.
"Mary, people are starting to line up behind you, so it’s time to go!"
"Shit! Why can’t it come out!
The holy sword Excalibur is the treasure of the oni race!"
Mary seemed to have given up in the end, as her hair was pulled back, and she obediently came to us.

"So, what are you guys going to do now?
You'll be staying in Amru Fortress City for a while, right?"
Reinhard spoke to me in the carriage returning to Amru Fortress City.
We could have gone sightseeing in Harman Royal City and then returned to Amru Fortress City, but unlike them, the [Falcon Claw] is the world's number one adventurer party and very well-known.
If we were in the Harman capital, we might get a quest request from the Harman kingdom for some reason, such as investigating the people who destroyed Duke Pavlov's mansion.
In the end, it would be no joke if a request came from the king, such as [Find the people who destroyed Duke Pavlov's mansion!]
After all, we are the culprits.
Or rather, it was Drake who destroyed Duke Pavlov's mansion...
Well, it seems that the Kingdom of Harman is already looking for the scumbag who killed the Drake family, who are Duke Pavlov's relatives.
In other words, we are wanted by Harman Kingdom.
There was no way I could stay in the capital of such a country forever.
"For now, we're heading to the 35th level.
Yes, I have to build a grave for Mylene..."
"I see... that's right... your purpose was to investigate whether Mylene-san is alive or dead, or rather, to avenge the enemy... my bad.
I'm sorry I said something to keep you in Amru Fortress City......"
Reinhard also thought it was a bit bad, and didn't let us stay in Amru Fortress City any longer.
I want to return to the 35th level as soon as possible before I lose my humanity.
I'm starting to get scared of myself.
I found myself almost forgetting about Mylene right away.
So before I forget, I want to return to the 35th level as soon as possible.
I don't think Mylene's body will be found on Donut Island, but I want to build a grave and pray for her.
Before I become a real monster with no blood or tears, and no longer cares about people's deaths...
